People who have gaming consoles and multiple TV peripherals may have faced the problem of connecting devices to their TV due to limited HDMI ports. However, gamer Ibrahim Al-Nasser from Saudi Arabia doesn’t have this issue and can connect numerous devices with ease.
Ibrahim has been certified by Guinness World Records for having the highest number of gaming consoles connected to a single TV, a staggering 444 consoles. The secret behind this feat lies in his collection of over 30 RCA Switchers, more than 12 HDMI Switchers, and various signal converters for older consoles. When choosing a console to play, he consults an Excel sheet to determine which Switchers to activate.
His console collection ranges from the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home console, to the recently released PlayStation 5 Slim. Additionally, he plays HDMI stick games and Android games on his setup.
The motivation behind Ibrahim’s elaborate console connecting system began when he bought multiple consoles and found it inconvenient to switch cables each time. This led him to purchase Switchers and signal converters to streamline the process. As his collection grew, he embarked on the idea of connecting all console models to a single TV, ensuring a tidy cable management system. His unique setup caught the attention of Guinness World Records, who recorded his achievement.
When asked about his favorite console, Ibrahim’s answer was the Sega Mega Drive.
TLDR: Ibrahim Al-Nasser holds the Guinness World Record for connecting 444 gaming consoles to a single TV using Switchers and signal converters, with his favorite console being the Sega Mega Drive.
